Team Copper Country high school all stars is in the national championship game in Lansing right now, down 2-1 to Buffalo in the second. Lots of Tech connections on the team, Kero, Pietila, McKay, Nordstrom, Sturos etc. they're a lot of fun, get ragged on some for wearing blank practice jerseys and the multi-colored HS helmets, but all they do is win, undefeated thus far.
Edit 2-2. I hope Tech has someone watching these local kids.
Edit: 5-2 final, the Houghton/Hancock/Calumet boys are 18U Tier 2 National Champions. Some good sophomores on that team to keep an eye on.

If he wanted to quit he would have by now. The boosters want him out... the AD will make the call.

Well, its official, let the rollercoaster ride begin. Red Berenson has retired.
Time to find out how committed Michigan Tech is to hockey and how committed Mel Pearson is to Michigan Tech.
(at least this ride will finally end)

Spoke briefly to Mel today at the Team Copper Country game. He said he was going straight back to Houghton after the game..."maybe I'll be racing these guys to the bridge".

Excellent. I love Mel, I emailed him after the Broadmoor win and it took him 30 minutes max to respond. He was so fired up...

Interesting comments from Mel to the Free Press today. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/co...key/100290570/
Sounds like there haven't been any talks yet between UMich and Mel, contrary to previous reports. I tend to agree with Chris Dilks article that there's not much upside for Mel in going back to Ann Arbor. (See http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/big-...eaman-blashill)

I fired an email off to Mel as well to show him support and tell him how much he means to the community.

Generally Chis is ok, but I wonder if he just takes Red line Report and paraphrases it. However, I disagree with his assertion that Tech or any other small midwestern school will never win a title and it's a waste of time to try. If that were true we should all quit hockey and go do something else. I was mad at first about it, but after calming down I can see how he would think that. But he also said Michigan has a long way to go to get back to competitive. I disagree with that too. They will be competitive next year.

I like what Jake said at the NCAA press conference, getting the experience this year will hopefully help take a step further next year with a frozen 4 in the sights. No hockey player accepts the Dilks statements, BS, I think winning a title is driving the staff right now, at least the best **** try possible.

Go Tech!

dont let facts get into the way, MtU has finished two of the last three season in the top 16 in the Pretournament PWR and got an autobid in the third season...the WCHA had a terrible year. They are still far from AHA West. Hopefully they rebound to stop having these appearances of a downward trend.

Means nothing at this point. Berenson isn't officially "official" yet, and will assist with the search. Manuel, "wants to talk to Mel". Which means, Red will probably call Mel personally.

I still put it 50/50.
